Dexter CleaverWhen the established East Coast manufacturing company Dexter learned about the all-purpose Kongmoon Chinese cleavers, they set out to make an American cleaver of their own. Years later, the Dexter cleavers became the cleavers of choice for Chinese cooks in American restaurants and homes. The Chinese characters spelling "Dexter cleaver", which are written on every Dexter blade, easily distinguish Dexter cleavers from other designs. Cleaver is stain-resistant steel with a 4" polished wooden handle.
